Hi! I'm Angie! I'm a Wife, Mother of two, Creator of A Taste of Wholesome, Registered Nurse and Health Coach.
Here you’ll find delicious, healthy recipes for your family to enjoy, as well as health and nutrition information. I have a passion for creating grain free and low carb recipes for better health.
